## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the rod for straightness and its ends for wear or damage before fitting — a bent rod cannot be corrected by refitting and will bind or carry its load off-line
-   Note its orientation and fitted position on removal; many rods are handed or are only correct one way round
-   Fit without forcing, secure all locknuts, pins and clips, and tighten to the figures in the workshop manual for your engine
-   Check it moves freely through its full travel by hand, with no tight spot or fouling, before the engine is run
